Health & Wellness

The vision for Santa Catalina's Health and Wellness Program is to foster a culture of self-care and balance so that all will aspire to well-being in its fullest. This vision is lived out through awareness of one's physical, mental, and spiritual life and is cultivated through curiosity and self-discovery, curricular and extra-curricular opportunities, relational community, and personal responsibility.

Being PRESENT

Being present and self-aware is the foundation of personal well-being. At Catalina, students have the opportunity to reflect on their physical, mental, social, and spiritual lives. Learning practices and habits that help students enter the sacredness of each moment provides awareness of oneself, others, and God. Being PRESENT is the foundation of the Santa Catalina Wheel of Well-Being.

Through the framework of PRESENT, students are led through curriculum and application of the seven dimensions of health:

Personal Development
Relationships and Communication
Exercise and Movement
Spirituality
Environment
Nutrition and Hydration
Time for Rest
